Hello, Does anyone know if there's any meet up support groups in New York?

I was banded at NYU and I know they have a support group once a month. I don't go because ...I get my support here. There was talk of some of us New York folk getting together over the summer but it sorta fizzled out.

I would LOVE to have a mini meet & greet in NYC. I was also banded at NYU and have only attended a seminar conducted by Dr. Warren Huberman about how to overcome over eating last Nov.

readysetgo611 is in Brooklyn. I think she might also be interested. I saw Huberman for the psyche consult the insurance company required.

Hey, I will come to the city for a meet and greet. I live in Orange County, NY. I could take the train to the city. I was looking for some kind of meet and greet to talk to other banders. Most people don't understand what we go through and it is hard to get support sometimes.

Me too. I lived in Blooming Grove. It was really nice there but I worked in NYC and the commute was just too much for me. This was before the train went into Penn Station via the Secaucus transfer and the bus was the only way to get in.

I don't think I lived in NY at that time. When I take the train out of Harriman it has always transferred into the city.

I moved here in 2000, but I probably took the train for the first time in 2003. We use to drive into the city but then I found the train was much easier. I am originally from California.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
